Coal gas is gaseous fuel, obtained by the heating of coal in the presence of air during the process of coal to get coke.
Coal gas, coal tar and coke are called products of coal. These products are obtained when coal is heated in the absence of air. This is because if coal is heated in the presence of air, then coal burns to produce mainly carbon dioxide gas and no other useful products obtained. The strong heating of coal in the absence of air is called destructive distillation of coal.

By which of the given processes is coal formed?
  • Carbonization
  • B
    Distillation
  • C
    Vaporization

Answer
Correct option: A.
Carbonization

When dead plants and animals get buried deep under the earth, they get decomposed by the action of anaerobic bacteria. Hydrogen and oxygen escape as gases leaving behind carbon. As years pass, layers of carbon atoms are added one above the other forming a stony substance called coal, this process is called carbonization.
